Hmm, so if the new ultra is AA only, people will just not jump in, which doesn’t happen that often against grapple characters anyway. Suppose you could try to bait an SRK and punish the whiff, but I’m not seeing too many applications here.
Anyone good at the game want to enlighten me on possible applications, or am I right about it being sorta lame?
I was very impressed with T. Hawk during the stream, all of his moves do massive damage and he himself looks to have 1250 HP or something. Not to mention the fact that he is the largest character in the game, which adds a certain intimidation to him…
I would say that Zangief’s forward dash looks a lot slower than T. Hawk’s. I guess we’ll know for sure when we get our hands on some frame data in the future.
What makes you think he’ll have more problems with fireballs though? He has Hawk Dive, he has EX Condor Spire, and st. RH looks like it would trade favourably with fireballs at close range. He’s just generally more mobile, with both ground and air options to get around fireballs.
His focus attack is pretty big radius wise but its not the best as he doesnt step back then forward like some chars do (ryu, akuma). I believe its his normal s.fp so id give it a 6.
I agree hawk has better options with dealing with fireballs than zangief as far as getting in although zangief can dodge them for days so it depends on your style i suppose.
I didn’t feel his dash was really slow, its just ridiculously short. covers like same distance as jab condor spire
All natives of the continental Americas are Native Americans. Just like most Cherokee are from around Tennessee, and most Algic are up in Ottawa. Hawk’s probably Tzotzil or something.
yea but zangiefs lariat allows him to stay grounded to avoid fireballs, and T.Hawk has to jump over them making him more vunlerable to sureyoucants.
EDIT: on a side note Hawk imo has better range on his pokes. (at least in ST he did)
i just hope they make his st.strong, and cr.forward good reaching pokes. and i hope st. strong is quick like in ST2. it was a good long range shoryuken punisher when you couldnt throw punish.
